I have been working on Technology Integration at my school since I arrived there in late August, and it has been so beneficial to have the support and enthusiasm of my team and the rest of our staff, as well as that of the students, administration, and county level leaders. Being able to actually obtain the technology was a dream come true. We won't have it in our rooms til next year because the orders were delayed in shipping and we're overwhelmed by testing at the moment, but having everyone come together to make it happen was amazing. Presenting the rationale to our local board helped things along. I am so grateful for what I've learned in this course, as it was crucial to strengthening our school culture for this big step.
I developed a Schoology course at www.schoology.com, course code WQJK-9J7W6 as part of the PD for this initiative. The course is modified from one developed by WVDE to train teachers around the state, and the symbaloos came about with the help of our TIS, who is always there for us. Please feel free to check it out!
You can view my TI at https://goo.gl/QkYuHs, and the handout I developed to be used with a Schoology exploration session at https://goo.gl/wEVKh5.
Knowing that next year we will have new textbooks featuring online access combined with 1:1 in the classroom makes me really excited. I am glad to have had the chance this year to learn and apply digital leadership. I'm looking forward to the future!

Thank you for posting! I will provide specific feedback in Taskstream. Your positive outlook is refreshing.
I enjoyed reading your TI Initiative since it goes beyond a hypothetical proposal and into reality. It is valuable to me to see an initiative that has already been set into motion. Thank you for sharing it and your experience with it thus far.
